Nearly Finished! The little details make all the difference on this scratch-built Victorian office

[@rzholland]

Every time you blow my mind. No one could imagine that the basis for such intricate and detailed buildings are cereal packets!!

[@Chandwell]

Thanks Robin!

[@trainmanbob]

That is simply stunning. Far better than any commercially available kit in any material. Well done Sir.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you!

[@Leonard_Smith]

Having seen where you have come from, the future should be fantastic. Thanks for taking us along with you on this journey.

[@TheHongKongHermit]

It's a weekly pleasure, isn't it?

[@Chandwell]

Thanks for watching every week, Leonard! I hope there is much more to come!

[@ngaugefouroaksstreetstatio6932]

Absolutely incredible, the best most realistic n gauge buildings ever.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you so much!

[@davidstokes8441]

What a masterpiece. Well done Michael.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you David

[@dave3301]

Wow, Fantastic, great job, thanks for share, look forward to the next installment.

[@Chandwell]

Thanks for watching! More to come!

[@SteveSmithRailways]

That looks mighty fine. I'd be well pleased with that.

[@Chandwell]

I'm definitely happy with it!

[@thegrowler-blackwoodngauge]

I've run out of superlatives to describe your work Michael ! Absolutely stunning - there's really nothing else to say ! Cheers Euan

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Euan!

[@afm1948]

That building rocks mate. Arthur

[@Chandwell]

Thank you!

[@PiddleInTheMarshbyMarkIreland]

Yet another masterpiece Michael

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Mark!

[@jo-bahn8737]

This episode was once again full of various little tipps I had not known off.

[@Chandwell]

Great to hear! Thank you!

[@djrobi61]

Another super job. Adding the roadway as part of the building really makes the backscene modular. It just gave me an idea of setting up backscene building's footprints up to change there locations on the layout if I see hit. This holds true considering the viaduct hiding the base. You seem to have allot of that in Chandwell. Thanks for the mention! Don

[@Chandwell]

That's a great idea!

[@normanrowe2831]

Hi ya Michael. That turned out magnificently. Thanks for sharing.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Norman

[@gwins12345]

Simply fantastic! Well done.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@andrewretallick4614]

It's unbelievable the amount of detail that you cram in to your buildings! Another brilliant build😎 Andrew🙂

[@Chandwell]

Glad you like it! Thanks Andrew!

Michael this is awesome, thanks for the videos

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Saul

[@barryturner2916]

Hi Michael it does not great it looks superb, well done I am always blown away with your attention to detail and build quality, take care and as always looking forward to your next update on this incredible build..

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Barry!

[@capitallines]

Very good indeed. About half way through, with just the skeleton of the slope against the building, it looked very Edinburgh to me!

[@Chandwell]

It reminded me of Edinburgh as I was putting it together!

[@stevenbarnett2497]

Well done Mike the street scene is brilliant u done a excellent job all looks really nice.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you!

[@stevenbarnett2497]

@@Chandwell ur welcome

[@martinpook5707]

Love the plumbing, so typical of the back of buildings. I spent a happy couple of hours wandering around Carmarthen last week looking at buildings. The back of one had a dozen windows and not one lined up with another!

[@Chandwell]

Oh wow! I love things like that. Doing this channel really makes me see things in more detail in the real world.

[@dylansheppardmymodelrailway]

You got a great channel here buddy 👍💯👍

[@Chandwell]

Thank you!

[@daviemaclean61]

The illusion of joins in the downspouts is very clever and the whole thing has come together brilliantly - as expected. Cheers

[@Chandwell]

I'm really pleased with how it all came together, Davie!

[@valentinsn-ostalgiemodellbahn]

Great to see, that you did stick to your word and modelized the pipe art work on the wall of your model. Really great, I love it. All the best Valentin

[@Chandwell]

Thank you very much!

[@zippy741able]

You are a genius.....

[@Chandwell]

Awww... I wouldn't go that far! :)

[@thomashiggins4923]

It just loooks fantastic Michael - a brillliantly atmospheric bit of modelling - and mostly made out of Weetabix box. I was just thinking though, that you haven't got any billboards advertising Vladivar Vodka from Warrington or some such thing.. Perhaps you might consider adding a big ad or two? Anyway, it all looks great. Thanks, Tom

[@Chandwell]

That's a good idea! I have a Yellow Pages advert but I definitely need some more here and there.

[@Christian-nj6xd]

It is amazing to see, what difference the details make to the appearance of the whole building. It really came alive between the last and this video. Thanks for sharing your work.

[@Chandwell]

I totally agree! The difference was stunning wasn't it!?

[@paulhayton3423]

great work..

[@Chandwell]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Curlypawz]

A stunning model Michael - I love how the slope and small details that you added really just bring the building to life.

[@Chandwell]

"No ground is flat in Chandwell"! :)

[@ericsainte290]

I'm out of words ! This is some incredible work. And those downspouts... never saw it coming the way they're done... can't wait to see what's coming next.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you Eric! I was hoping you would find the downspout technique interesting.

[@roystudds1944]

Once again, an amazing job, particularly on the detail of the down pipes. I have to keep reminding myself that you are working in N gauge. Thanks for sharing Michael. Roy.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you very much Roy!

[@nicolaiitchenko7610]

Thank you Your "details" confirmed my (poor) attempts in HO scale and have made me feel SO much better about the experiments. I only have to change certain dimensions (thicker card and slightly larger line drawings for downspouts and joins etc.) I am slowly coming to the conclusion that I am learning THANK YOU My model of "the wrong side of the tracks" urban area is coming along. Slowly! I got home from my latest contract away this week so will get right back to the work once I have reopened the apartment. Your video today came at EXACTLY the right time....

[@Chandwell]

Can't wait to see some updates on the Wrong Side of the Tracks! Glad you found this one helpful.

[@steverileyretired]

Great, well done

[@Chandwell]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@philkirk4571]

You should be very proud of what you have achieved Michael. Your attention to detail is now legendary and the weetabix people will be rubbing their hands. Being closely linked with Bradford I guess Chandwell will benefit from their recent city of culture status? Brilliant stuff as always.

[@Chandwell]

It is great that Bradford won the City of Culture bid. I am going to have to find a way to acknowledge it in Chandwell somehow.

[@teenoso4069]

Unbelievable

[@Chandwell]

Thank you!

[@chuffinel7676]

Recently found your channel. Your scratch-builds are so impressive and inspiring. I had never even heard of Inkscape. I have downloaded it and need to get familiar with it in the future via your Videos. I have always had the thought of attempting some scratch-builds in the back of my mind. My N Gauge endeavour is in it's planning stages as yet and I am component collecting at the moment. I have a stack of unopened Metcalfe buildings over 2ft high. Loved your Hotel and Pub builds. Thanks for sharing and giving the tutorials, this is something I am definitely going to have a go at later down the line. Have you considered or do you sell your components plans on the sticky label paper for something like the Pub for example ? After watching that build I was almost itching to get my hands on the basic parts and have a bash at my own version. Can't wait to see what you do next. Keep up the good work.

[@Chandwell]

Thank you for your kind words and welcome to Chandwell! I have not considered selling the components of my buildings before, but maybe that's not too bad an idea. I'd have to tidy up all my files if I wanted to do that! Good luck with your own builds; it is such good fun!

[@barryturner2916]

Sorry missed the "look" out before great..

[@Chandwell]

I worked it out! :)

[@stukidson1207]

It really is getting difficult to write these comment because as The Growler points out it is difficult to find the superlatives to describe the quality of your models.

[@Chandwell]

Hahah - thank you Stu! Just once you should write "That's rubbish". :)

[@djesi2871]

Please, what program do you use for sketches?

[@Chandwell]

Inkscape, mainly. Although Vectornator on the iPad is good too.
